一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>Sensors have been traditionally used for industrial process control, measurement, and automation, often involving temperature, pressure, flow, and level measurement. Nowadays, sensors enable a myriad of applications fostered by developments in digital electronics and involving the measurement of several physical and chemical quantities. 
<br>How to obtain the precise measured signal for different sensing techniques will be the main goal of this course, which will be very important for those who wants to build their own measurement system. A popular signal conditioning software, Labview, will also be taught by company lecturer in this course.
